Why Solar & Storage Live London?

Why Solar & Storage Live London Is Held in the Capital

Solar & Storage Live London was launched in the capital for a clear reason: London is the strategic and central powerhouse of the UK solar and battery storage market. While renewable assets are deployed nationwide, the decisions that shape, fund and accelerate these projects are overwhelmingly made in London.

ENQUIRE TO EXHIBIT

A National Investment Hub

London is one of the world’s foremost finance and investment centres, where major energy funds, institutional investors and corporate capital are allocated to utility-scale solar and battery storage projects. The UK’s solar and storage sector is on a strong growth trajectory, with nearly 20 GW of solar capacity and more than 7 GW of battery storage installed nationwide – and that’s just the beginning. By 2030, analysts project solar capacity could reach as much as 50–60 GW and battery storage up to 30–50 GW, creating tens of billions in new investment opportunities.

Driving Utility-Scale Solar and Storage Decisions

Many of the UK’s leading solar developers, EPC's & asset owners – the companies driving project pipelines, investment decisions and delivery strategies for utility-scale solar and storage – are headquartered and maintain major operations in London. Being close to C‑suite leadership, investors and project partners enables faster decision-making and accelerates project execution across the UK.

Access to C&I Energy Users

London is also home to the UK’s largest commercial and industrial (C&I) energy users, including property owners and asset managers, data centres, logistics operators, retailers, manufacturers and corporate estates. These organisations are actively pursuing solar and battery storage solutions to reduce energy costs, secure supply, and meet net-zero targets. Bringing these buyers together with the market’s solution providers creates direct, high-value connections.

Driving the Residential Solar Market

London is a key hub for the UK’s residential solar and battery storage market. Many of the leading installers, manufacturers, distributors, housing associations and energy suppliers base their leadership, sales and strategy teams in the city, making it the centre for residential solar decision-making. With more than 3.7 million homes and ambitious initiatives such as the Greater London Authority’s Solar Action Plan and the city’s net-zero 2030 target, London is shaping policies, driving adoption, and influencing best practices nationwide. As residential solar evolves towards integrated solar, battery storage, EV charging and smart energy solutions, London remains the coordination hub where strategies are developed, commercialised and taken to market across the UK.

Solar & Storage Live London is more than just an event – it’s the meeting place where the UK market convenes in London to get business done and drive projects across the UK.
